Also doing quick comparisons to the 600h power system it comes out with about 4.7 I do not know what the gas engine is in the 600h. At one time I heard a rumor to a 1.6 Liter in the Prius time will tell.
I CONFESS I LIKE IT!!! one problem I need All Wheel Drive.

The LS600hL uses the 5.0 V8.

I am hoping it looks more futuristic than that rendering, I liked the Motor Trend one better.

I do wonder why no ES hybrid, since it has a huge trunk (for a battery).

Oh I have a feeling there'll be an ESh soon.

And the HSh.... that looks like the front end of a Civic with the rear end of a Yaris and modified ES taillights. Interior looks fantastic though. I'm not sure if the folks here would like that Yellow Bird's Eye Maple with the black combo.

Seeing the new RX and IS-C, I wouldnt' be surprised if that rendering ends up looking better than the real thing.

I think that the Fusion/Milan hybrid is going to kick the Camry hybrids butt and nip at the coat tails of the Prius. With around 200 HP and 38 mpg city, thats tough competition. Toyota had better get their 2.5L into the Camry hybrid. However, we are still waiting for the more efficient 3.5L into the Highlander and RX. I was very surprised that the Highlander was redesigned, but did not get the 3.5L for the hybrid.
